Mrs. Julia Guepner, Housekeeper at the
Arcade, Presented with u Beautiful
Dreas Pattern.
On Thursday evening Mrs. Julia Guep-
ner, hOusekeeper of the Arcade hotel while
il was under the management of Mr.. II. l..
Rockiield, was rendered most agreeable
surprise by the help who assisted her in
taking care of the Arcade. The young
women called Mrs. Guepner to one side and
presented her with a package containing a
handsome dress pattern with all the trim
mings. ready to be placed in the hands Of
the dress maker. The make the presenta-
ton as a token OF their regard for Mrs.
Guepner and in appreciation of her kind
ness and consideration while they worked
for her.
There were many moist eyes in the party
when the presentation was made, as all re-
allied that il indicated that a separation
was inevitable and the relations of the
hOusekeeper and the young women had al
ways been so pleasant that all were sorry
they were to be dissolved. Mrs. Guepner
gave her friends handsome spread and
the party then separated.

The highbinders are the bravoes of
Chinatown. wherever Chinatown exists in
this country. They form gang Of
toughs who live by blackmail and vio-
lence. They are ready to commit any
crime for pay. In san Francisco, what
little Miss Wren would call their tricks
and manners are well known.
The Chinese colonies are governed by
laws enacted within themselves. The
Chinaman does not go To our courts when
he has trouble with fellow heather.
He appeals 10 sort Of star chamber of
his own creation. and fines, assaults and
death are neted out by it according TO its
judgment. These decisions the high
binder is employed to enforce. Things
are probably rs bad with us as they are
in San Francisco, but the highlander is
such an essential to the Chinese social
economy that l should he surprised to
hear that he has no existence here.
The ordinary weapon Of this lcprous
rufiian during my time in San Francisco
was an iron har attached loosely 10 his
wrist with leathern thong. The bar
was short and ponderous, and was car
ried concealed in his flowing sleeve. A
rap of it would knock man senseless. A
blow. with the leverage given it by the
thong, would strike man dead. The
bar always did its work effectually and il
made no noise. For more serious opera
tions n short handled hatchet was also
utilized. This was also carried i'll the
sleeve. The heavy head was sharpened
to razor edge. One blow would divide
the hardest skull like new cheese. All
Chinese murders in those .!ays were com

occasionally they will remark you are out

will say you are lady's man, and if one

much of u lady's man They will even

I've a happy transition for you, and will try
10 unravel the network OF circumstances
which has kept you single. If one talks
at all they presume on good nature and
attack him from all sides. 1t is hard TO
oppose the attacks of lady boarders, and
they will dig up a good deal Of your life in
spite of you. This is the way they do at
our boarding house.
But the s.idiest matter Of them all is
the stories that are told. We hear them
recited every day of such age that their
oldness makes us shed tears i'll pity for
their decayed originality. The red headed
girl still lives with us, and it makes
shudder TO think what we will have next.

An Offended Authors Atouement.

Just before Mortimer Collins death he
happened i'll some way 10 run counter to
the prejudices of one of the most brilliant
and rugged Of men Of letters, with whom
he was personally acquainted. His sin
brought upon his head-in The Athe-
nRum or Notes and Queries, | think-a
very lava flood of scathing denunciation
from the offended Olympian. Before he
had time TO answer, Mortimer Collins was
dead. Three years later, when his widow
was in trouble at Isleworth and saw no
one, her little maid refused 10 unlock the
gate to white haired burly stranger.
Standing outside, he shyly muTmured
something about ''friend of Edmund
Yates" This acted like magic, as many
were the packets and letters the girl had
posted to that address, and he was shown
in. Mrs. Mortimer Collins, l think"
Yes" God bless you. Take this
He thrust roll of bills into her hand,
and was off in his carriage again without
another word leaving her TO look blankly
after him 1t was a little time before she
learned that her visitor vas Charles
Reade. and that the timely kindness was
his atonement for his haste. He kept the
kindness up, and one of the first literary
boarders who came TO tighten Frances
Collins burdens at her Eastburne house
was Charles Reade. 1t was not long be-
fore his death.-Temple Bar.
